Getting data from drives in failed PC

[Supportsneedlove]

I have a failed PC with a 1TB harddrive and a 128 GB SSD.

I want to backup all of my personal data from those drives to my new PC, containing only a 500 GB HDD, and then use the old drives in my new PC, with the SSD as a Bootdrive. 

Logically I've come to the conclusion that I'll need an external drive for the data, but other than that I'm not sure on how to do it. 

How would you guys go about it, and what should I watch out for/ avoid?

As long as the drives haven't failed you shouldn't have any problems really.

I'd recommend getting an external dock for hard drives (they're always useful, WHEN you need them)

Since you're from DK take a look here: CLICK ME.

get a sata to USB cable, it's easier that way imo

That seems like a way better idea than getting a whole new drive.

How would I go about changing my bootdrive? Could I use the dock to move my OS directly to the SSD, or will I need to delete it and reinstall on the SSD afterwards?

If you can plug the dock into a laptop or something you can move the data around. I would however advise to install a fresh windows on your SSD and use that as boot drive. (but take the backup first)
